Yes, but that policy fights with Python, leading to bad combinations. 
The first time I had to say something like 
"ZPythonScriptHTML_changePrefs" to a customer over the phone, I realized 
that the mixed conventions are a real problem.

BTW, I assume this discussion is only about refining the conventions for 
method and function names.  CamelCase for class names is still 
recommended, right?
